Please, do not shoot the messenger.

 

This is the equivalent of the blue screen of death named after the windows blue screen crash. Now, the parametric modeling, and actual operation errors are working much better, but... I would spend months crating cases for all of the bugs to report as they happened. 

 

If money is the reason I get the please of so many bugs... Then give me a reasonable way to pay you for it.  ,,, YOU want $80 a year, I will give you $80 a year. In return I want a DXF  export that works, and a version of Fusion 360 that is not infested with beta testing bugs. The 10x Editable documents limitation isn't really a big deal, and I would keep it for anyone actually making money using your hobbyist / Maker version. This is how you get us to "Pay" you for it! I can afford one more live streaming account, so $7.99 a month, or $80 a year is reasonable. It is a tool, so I would not mind. I can not afford the full license, not even a little bit. If I have to switch to Solidworks, then I will also need to contact an attorney. 

 

I did not sign up for unexpected beta testing. You want that, then you need to give me free access to everything autodesk makes, and there will need to be rules like letting me choose to select the latest beta at startup, or normal mode if it is massively broken..

 

Letting me build up years of designs in your cloud that only work with your software is a sticky wicket for your company legally speaking.  I am trying to tell you something

you may not / or your programmers are not telling you. I have been used like this before. When the product is free, you are the product? Not in this scenario. comprende?

 

Also, DXF exportation does not give you a way to say output "Normal" lines only, and not construction, dimensions, or anything else.  Hobbyists / Makers all use Laser cutters at makerspaces? You are literally driving all of us to Solidworks which is massively counter productive for your product. Hobbyists / Makers are making how-to-videos for you, do you get that? Some of those get jobs designed for companies, do you get that?. 

 

These bugs are the reason I have to start complex designs from scratch over and over again because parametric modeling does not really work.

 

A design as complex as Capture2.jpg isn't easy to do. Having to redesign it a million times because of defective parametric modeling sucks exactly 20x times, that is how many times I had to redesign it.  Going back in the Timeline and changing one dimension that was properly referenced is a design explosion. I actually make the boom noise after I hit enter or click ok. Because it normally results in a strip of red operations and a design that looks nothing like the original design at all. This also causes me to save projects to the cloud that you have to pay to store and manage.  The world does not need us building more server farms. Global warming and all of that. 

 

 

Illinois has very strict laws in this regard. Ask the makers of Raw Products. They can not sell their products in this state anymore.  In short, knock it off! If you want money, then read the solution above again. 

 

Respectfully,

Jason Badon

Not sharing that design in the event I can use it one day to make money and pay fusion 360, or solidworks at that point. I am disabled and can not work. One day someone might want to buy them. I will also not upload them because people cruse creative forums like this and milk designs. That first one I posted was my first draft. After 9 versions I got it where I want it. Naturally I had to redesign it every time because changing anything in the timeline breaks the entire project.

 

If sketch 1 has a 10mm diameter circle defined and I decide to reference by projection in sketch 5 and want to change sketch 1 diameter, the projected profile does not stay referenced and breaks "the entire project"?   I have to start designs completely over multiple times. I know it is not me, because engineers at Caterpillar, Rivian, and other designers all talk about these persistent bugs in fusion 360. The same thing happens if I create a sketch and change the plane even if it is 5mm away and I do it before I do anything else? 

 

Updates every single time you launch even if you tell it not to? I can not imagine paying customers are putting up with this.

Hi,

I don't see from your words that you are trying to solve a problem.

This is simply not true.  I don't know what workflow you are using, but it works using Sketch Project.  See the video:

@badonj002 

Can you reproduce any issue (just one) that you observe in a dummy file that does not give away any proprietary information?

 

1. Are there any unresolved issues highlighted in yellow or red in the Timeline?

2. Are you fully defining each every sketch in a logical way?

3. Are you using computationally efficient techniques, especially avoiding large sketch patterns an instead using feature patterns?

4. Does Ctrl b (CMD b on Mac) return any issues?
